Well right now I'm trying to survive as an illustrator and web developper, before that I've worked as waiter, dishwasher, farmer or teacher... I dont mind the task if it allows me to travel!

I have one passion, and that passion is travelling. I think is the definitive experience: It's the way of living the present, avoid monotony, continually being amazed and not stopping learning, learning from the things you see, the people you meet and learning from yourself....
Travelling is a way of squeeze each drop of life like anything else allows you to do.
Knowledge is in the books but wisdom is adquired when travelling. Or at least that's my opinion, all the things that matters you learn them when you survive by yourself, when you leave your comfort zone.

So yeah, why not? My goal is to be able to travel all around the world and earn money with my paintings.

You make your own world.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Why i'm on CS? Beacuse i think the true travel is when you blend into the local crowd, live with them, learn from them...

When surfing I always try to share my time with the host if he or she can and wants to do it.
I do not surf just to save money but to experience the esence of "travelling", talking with the people who live there and sharing experiences with them... of course I also like to have some time by my own to explore the city and make some drawings, etc. I can adapt myself to all kind of circumstances.

Centres d'intérêt

As I explained before, I love travelling and drawing, just doing that I'm quite happy, but if it's possible, I do like hiking, trying local beers and new food, art and culture, partying...

The essence of a place is not in his monuments or in it's beauty, the esence of a place is in their people and their traditions. I would like to draw the beauty and to admire the essence of each place I visit.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I've walked Portugal from south to nord, from Lisbon to Santiago almost a month just with my backpack and a lot of enthusiasm.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

As I mentioned before I travel because I want to learn as much as I can from every place I visit, so If you host me I will probably ask you thousand of questions to fill my notebook with information and drawings of your country!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

If you're interested we can start with basic spanish lessons, or drawing lessons if you press me! I like to cook so I will be pleased If you let me prepare some dishes!
